Meet Parthasarathy Vaidya
Hi! I'm Parthasarathy, or Partha for short. The essence of this Sanskrit name is "Doctor Charioteer of the Confused Hero", which is also who I am. I guide individuals through confusion into clarity and hopefully joy, with complete faith that unimaginable transformation is possible.
Having an executive function neurodivergence (ADHD), my brain works in ways that aids my unique perspective. I’d like to help you figure your own uniqueness as well. My approach is about bridging the physical and observable with the metaphysical and sometimes imperceptible. I operate under the assumption that every individual possesses the power to heal themselves, as long as we become aware of the root causes and other influencing factors. Some of these are our patterns of belief, thought, and behaviors that form around us over time as a defense mechanism. My main aim as your coach is to help you tap into these unconscious antecedents, and hold space for you as you work your way through them.

More from Parthasarathy: Becoming A New Song
Healing and transformation are about literally changing the melodies that create our symphony so that we become a song that is harmonious with our stream of life. Traumatic experiences, the toll of challenging mental and emotional states, and the misalignment with our environment as a consequence of neurodivergence, keep us playing notes that are stuck in the past, making it challenging to resonate with the future versions of ourselves we hope to create and stabilize. And if the song we are playing is not in harmony with our inner journey, our experience seems “off”. We can work together to reprogram the ways in which your past has begun to define your present – and this is key, because the momentum of the present creates your future.
These are the tools I can use to help you:
Mindfulness guidance – The ability to observe your thoughts without judgment. This is crucial for growth because it's how you catch yourself before you rerun the same script leading to the same suffering.
Heart-brain coherence – The heart is the center of feeling. And it is in feeling that we truly know what's happening. When the brain and heart are synchronized, we can anchor ourselves to the present and move forward – instead of the patterns we think our way into, which hold us back and cause us to stay stagnant.
Life Alignment – Life alignment is a vibrational healing and intuitive coaching modality. It is designed to help you tap into your knowledge and higher wisdom about yourself. I use my ability to help you tune into it on a deeper energetic level. This, in conjunction with the process of a Life Alignment, balances to help you discover what's holding you back. So even if you aren't conscious of it, I can help you access your inner guidance on moving forward to your highest potential.
Sound and music – My personal journey is a testament to the healing capacity of the human voice. A part of my practice in the art of life is two ancient forms of music from India – Khyal and Dhrupad. These art forms have been curated toward facilitating meditative states of higher consciousness, healing, and personal transformation.
A coaching session with me involves us tapping into this intuitive wisdom together that empowers you with that discovery to make conscious choices that align with your deepest sense of being. The idea is to link you to your own heart – the seat of your intuition. By learning to trust your instincts and inner guidance, you develop confidence, experience the cyclical nature of life, and let go of your idea of yourself. Rigidity gives way to mindfulness - you can choose to breathe through situations you would have reacted to and instead choose which version of you responds. As you grow and choose to embody these changes, the evolution at the higher Self-level begins to show in your presence and behavior. As your experience of life becomes more firmly grounded in your body, you have an expanded awareness of what it is sensing, and hear your instincts more keenly.
I also offer coaching and education for people who wish to work with their partners or families to help them better understand each other and heal together. I aim to establish a space of genuine connection, intuitive understanding, and alignment between individuals at the level of who they truly are rather than their ideas of each other. This involves honest communication, safe self-expression, and mutually beneficial goals for the relationship.
I hope you find what I offer compelling, and I look forward to working with you!
